Tavcor Motor Group is celebrating a strong showing at the Audi and Volkswagen awards, where Audi South Africa and Volkswagen Group South Africa recognised top-performing dealerships and individuals across their national networks.
Leading the achievements, Audi Centre Nelson Mandela Bay was named Dealer of the Year (Categories 2 & 3)—a prestigious accolade that reflects consistent excellence in customer experience, sales performance, and overall operations. In a highly competitive premium market, this recognition stands out as a significant milestone for the Tavcor team.
The dealership’s success was further reinforced by individual awards:
- Thando Fani – Pre-owned Sales Manager of the Year (Cat 2 & 3)
- Michelle Lloyd-Austin – Pre-owned Sales Executive of the Year (Cat 2 & 3)
- Mongezi Mata – F&I Manager of the Year (Category 2)
Audi Centre George also earned recognition, with:
- Eulene de Beer – F&I Manager of the Year (Category 3)
Adding to Tavcor’s success, Earl Bowers was named Winner of the MasterCars Sales Manager – Golden Circle award—a standout achievement for a consistent performer within the group.
Reflecting on the accomplishments, Bjorn van Bochove, Dealer Principal of Audi Centre Nelson Mandela Bay and George, shared:
“I wanted to take a moment to express my congratulations and appreciation for a job well done to my team at Audi Centre NMB for everyone’s contribution to winning this award. We had various award winners in our category, congratulations to those winners for their achievements. We would not be winners if it was not for the immense support we get from our colleagues in Group Services who help us do our jobs better, thank you all for supporting us in achieving this accolade.”
These awards form part of the broader annual recognition by Tavcor’s OEM partners, where top performance is celebrated across the network. Such events not only highlight excellence but also establish clear benchmarks in a target-driven sales environment—encouraging continuous improvement, teamwork, and healthy competition across the organisation.
Adding to the excitement, this year’s achievement comes with an exceptional reward. In November, the Audi team will travel to Brazil to experience the thrill of a Formula 1 Grand Prix—an opportunity that reflects the level of performance and dedication required to compete at the very top.
